I've seen some of the homespun signs for Ron around my area, and they have more of an impact on me than the prefab signs.
I'm in!
I think when it comes to "our" core issues, Ron's the only choice.

YouTube - Ron Paul Fox Covers Fox Censorship New Hampshire Forum Jan 6
Ron Paul indeed Out-Foxed (for now)
by Jason George
Fergus Cullen, chairman of the New Hampshire State Republican Committee, confirmed Sunday evening to the Tribune that, yes, there will be a televised Fox News presidential candidate forum on Jan. 6, and yes, Rep. Ron Paul was not invited when the other candidates were a week or so ago.
"My understanding is that five candidates to that point had been offered spots but the event is still coming together," Cullen said.
The candidates invited to the forum/debate â?? whatever you want to call it â?? will be Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. John McCain, Gov. Mitt Romney and Sen. Fred Thompson.
Cullen said the event, which is set to take place two days before the New Hampshire primary, will be held in the afternoon or evening at St. Anselm College in Goffstown, N.H. When asked if Fox News, which is co-sponsoring the debate with the NH party, planned to invite Paul later, Cullen said he didn't know.
"It's really premature. Just the other day candidates started to accept invitations."
On Saturday, Paul called Fox News "scared of me." They "don't want my message to get out, but it will," according to The Boston Globe's Primary Source blog.
"They are propagandists for this war and I challenge them on the notion that they are conservative."
On Sunday night, Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said the campaign remains angry, and in the dark.
"We have not heard anything else today," he said. "[Fox] continues to ignore our calls."

Have a good one!:s4:
Fox pretty much put that middle finga up an said fuck you america by not letting the man speak to the people. I mean the man got 10% in Iowa and they keep that man out? doesnt make any sense to me. Its a total joke
Sweet Jesus,
I guess that Fox is the Only media outlet, that is state run right? And anyone else that attempts to report any news is kidnapped in the middle of the night and "sent away" correct? And there are no other news networks, media outlets, or any other media at all that is not Fox News, correct? That would go a long way to defend the OPINION that Ron Paul was censored, I mean if all that were true. Holy shit, the Ron Paul and Billary Supporters are getting tougher to sort out. All of them are PMSing I think? Truth is NO ONE is covering him. It's not a conspiracy, he IS NOT in the race! More bad news, check out the thread, this just came in, FOX NEWS is reporting that they have confirmed that some super duper secret agent has been arrested with a smoking gun in hand, all signs point to conspiracy!
Ron Paul Reported Dead!!

I don't care how much of a chance Ron Paul has, I registered republican so I could vote for him in my state's primaries...if he doesn't make the nomination then I wont vote at all, because then I can say I didn't contribute to the downfall of America, at least if a republican other than Ron Paul gets elected..
I don't think Ron Paul has any chance to win even a single state primary, and I do not personally support him because some of his policies are wacky in my opinion. But I do not think any of the declared candidates with as much support as has should be excluded from any of the media forums.
Just because a candidate will not win does not mean they don't add value to the process of debate. In the case of Ron Paul, he brings the strongest voice in favor of personal liberty and respect for the constitution. It's importatnt to bring that point of view into the debate so that other candidates are forced to take a stand on these important issues. I feel the same way about fringe parties like the Green party. Their candidates seldom stand a chance, but they bring important issues to the table that would otherwise be ignored. If they have supporters, other candidates take note.
On a side note, the other contribution that Ron Paul has made to this election is to energize a lot of people who have been alienated from politics. I hope they don't all just stand out the rest of the election if he doesn't win the nomination --- a few people have posted that they would not vote in the general election if he wasn't on the ticket. You need to stay engaged. Do you think Ron Paul will give up all politics if he doesn't win? Of course not. If you really believe in his message, then you need to carry it forward --- other candidates will take note. If you just withdraw from the process, why would any candidate care what you believe? If there is no chance of getting your vote, they will ignore you.
I couldn't tell from all the back and forth whether it finally ended up that Ron Paul was excluded or not. Was he?
One thing is for sure, Fox news is a joke. It's a thoroughly biased entertainment medium posing as a news outlet. It's designed for feeding a select audience what it already wants to hear and for making a ton of money selling advertising. Cable channels are not bound by the same Federal laws regarding acting in the public interest and equal time. Broadcast networks use the broadcast spectrum ("airwaves"), which are publicly owned, so there are rules regarding their use. In order to maintain their license, they follow certain rules. Cable does not have those sae erules, so cable "news" shows like Fox can get away with being more biased.
Well at least the NH GOP withdrew support from the FOX debate. Ron got a hour long town hall meeting on local TV the same day and made it on Leno due to this.
